  What is a Wave?
In the case of a sound wave moving from the church choir to the pews, the medium through which the sound wave travels is the air in the room.
And in the case of the stadium wave, the medium through which the stadium wave travels is the fans who are in the stadium.
When a wave is present in a medium (that is, when there is a disturbance moving through a medium), the individual particles of the medium are only temporarily displaced from their rest position.

is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source in such a manner that specific points along the medium appear to be standing still.
A wave is certainly different than a pulse; and understanding why two waves introduced into a medium with perfect timing might produce a point of displacement in the middle of the medium is a mere extension of the above discussion.
A standing wave pattern is not actually a wave; rather it is the pattern resulting from the presence of two waves (sometimes more) of the same frequency with different directions of travel within the same medium.

The blue wave is moving to the right and the green wave is moving to the left.
Standing waves are produced whenever two waves of identical frequency interfere with one another while traveling opposite directions along the same medium.
In conclusion, standing wave patterns are produced as the result of the repeated interference of two waves of identical frequency while moving in opposite directions along the same medium.

 Mediumwave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mediumwave radio transmissions (sometimes called Medium frequency or MF) are those between the frequencies of 300 kHz and 3000 kHz.
In the US the maximum transmitter power is restricted to 50 kilowatts, while in Europe there are medium wave stations with transmitter power up to 2.5 megawatts.
Other services that operate in medium wave include Navtex and the Amateur Radio 160-meter band.

 VK3ACA 's MEDIUM WAVE and LONG WAVE PAGE
Medium wave or medium frequency according to current standards includes wave lengths from 100 to 1000 metres or 3000 kHz to 300 kHz.
Long distance sky wave signals in this band are more variable, weaker and less predictable than on higher frequency bands and usually requires the use of morse code using CW (keyed continuous waves).
The following article "Notes on propagation of medium frequency waves." is a general observation on the subject along the lines of the article "Propagation of long Radio Waves" and is the text of a discussion between Walter Schulz and my self.

 An Observational Study of Medium-Scale Wave Dynamics in the Southern Hemisphere Summer. Part II: Stationary-Transient ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Eastward moving, baroclinically forced, medium-scale waves are frequently observed to dominate the Southern Hemisphere summer circulation.
Energetic analyses indicate that the medium-scale waves grow barotropically and decay baroclinically during this period, although these interference induced contributions are secondary to the usual baroclinic growth-barotropic decay life cycle characteristics observed by Randel and Stanford.
An interference induced feedback mechanism between the medium-scale waves and the zonal-mean flow is discussed.

 Daytime Wave Pockets of Medium Wave Mast Antennas
Further, the CFA comparison confirms that the medium wave antenna's behavior exhibited these areas of sudden, sharp fading and signal loss exists due to characteristics of the mast-type antenna.
An indication of these wave pockets is demonstrated by the sudden abnormal decrease in signal strength and indicates that one is approaching the wave pocket.
This indicates that the bottom of the D layer is rippled or corrugated and that each ripple occurs every 10 km, or that the reflected wave occurs at a specific incident angle on the bottom of the D layer during the daytime.

Mediumwave (A communication system based on broadcasting electromagnetic waves) radio transmissions (sometimes called Medium frequency or MF) are those between the frequencies of 300 (One thousand periods per second) kHz and 3000 kHz.
Stations broadcasting with low power commonly use masts with heights of quater (The distance (measured in the direction of propagation) between two points in the same phase in consecutive cycles of a wave) wavelength, while those of high power use mostly such of half wavelength.

These waves also seem to provide a template or pattern for the development of all life and thus life developed in spite of the fundamental second law of thermodynamics.
This looks like the work of a wave phenomenon where the wave velocity increases exponentially as it travels away from the sun or planets due to a decreasing density of the wave medium.
W-waves in plants, in the sun, and the waves placing the planets, satellites of planets, or the waves stabilizing planetary rings likely are of the same species.
